Old Latino Man Attacked in Shocking Hate Crime

Not a "hate" crime.

A 30-year-old woman has been arrested in the vicious Fourth of July beating of a man in his 90s who was walking in the Willowbrook neighborhood of South Los Angeles, authorities announced Wednesday, saying the incident was not "hate related."

Laquisha Jones, a resident of L.A., was taken into custody without incident near 60th Street and Crenshaw Avenue about 10 p.m. Tuesday, after investigators obtained search and arrest warrants, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department stated in a news release.

Jones has been booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and is being held on $200,000 bail, the Sheriff’s Department stated. Her booking photo is not being released, authorities said.
...
A witness to the attack told CNN she saw a woman striking Rodriguez with the block and overheard her saying, “Go back to your country. Go back to Mexico.”

But detectives have determined through the investigation that the beating was "not a hate related incident," according to the release. The weapon has not been located, authorities said.

Like I have said many times before, Blacks and Latinos do not get along. They are culturally different and thrown on top of each other in congested setting. It's only natural that they would generate animosity and resentment towards each other.

Bull$#@!.

It is learned and /or Instigated behavior..

You obviously haven't traveled much and base you opinion on very narrow horizons. I know of no such animosity in the Islands..

folks think that their town is the whole world.

... the motive then?

Is it worse to beat and break the ribs of a 92 year old Latino or a sitting Senator?

Which perpetrator will receive a stiffer penalty?

Didn't you get the memo? Only whites can hate.

Excellent question. One was politically charged, the other racially charged. Of course that is denied in both cases.

They charged her with assault with a deadly weapon. Probably the bigger crime, as Rand's neighbor used no weapon other than gravity and momentum. While many (on the left) laughed about one case, the other case will be swept under the rug.

My initial thoughts, based on what I saw on this can be broken into three points.

1. Beating an old man is awfully hard to justify and would require more than accidentally bumping into my kid. Unless something major is missing from the story, this woman is trash.

2. "Legal Resident" does not equal citizenship. It infers he has greencard.

3. A non-citizen that doesn't speak the language, at his advancd age, bumbling around in public (likely with dementia)... does NOT speak well of the person/family that brought him here and is highly irresponsible.

Poor impulse control.

Just the other day, four black women beat, stabbed and robbed an Applebee's waitress for bumping into one of them.

This lack of impulse control, the violent lashing out at every slight or perceived "diss" is the primary cause for the homicidal and poverty ridden nightmare that are many black communities, even after 50 years and trillions of dollars of aid.

And of course there are no hate crime charges...in spite of this poor old fellow's lack of English skills or the country of origin, the fact is, looking at him, that his ethnicity is white.

Critical Race Theory, upon which the very concept of "hate crimes" is based, holds that it is impossible for colored people to be racist.
